Compressor
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress
the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals
that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it
"squeezes" the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds
louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the
overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently
high-level sound. Compression can be used to increase sustain
for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a vocal, or bring a
drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix.

Wah
This Effect cyclically modulates the tone brightness (cutoff
frequency of a filter). Auto Wah modulates the tone via LFO,
Touch Wah modulates the tone via volume (note on velocity) and
Pedal Wah modulates the tone via pedal control (foot controller).

Description
An effect which cyclically moves the sound
left/right and front/back.
An effect which cyclically modulates the
volume.
Simulation of a rotary speaker.
Mas Description
– A simulation of a guitar amp.
– A simulation of a guitar amp.
– Since a Compressor is included in
the first stage, steady distortion can
be produced regardless of
changes in input level.

✔
Modulates the tone via the pedal
control. For best results, assign the
Pedal Control parameter of this
Effect type to the Foot Controller in
the Controller Set display, then use
the Foot Controller to control this
effect in real time.
Lo-Fi
This effect intentionally degrades the audio quality of the input
signal via several methods, including lowering of the sampling
frequency.

Description
Degrades the audio quality of the
input signal for a lo-fi sound.
Adds noise to the current sound.
Simulates the noise, scratches and
pops of a vinyl record.
Description
An effect that modifies the pitch by
applying amplitude modulation to
the frequency of the input.
Dynamically controlled ring
modulation.
Dynamically controlled filter.
Processes the input signal into a
synthesizer-type sound.
Controls the level of a specified
frequency band of the input signal.
Cuts the Voice sound into separate
segments for special rhythmic
effects.
Adds a unique feeling of
modulation similar to ring
modulation.
Description
Vintage 5-band parametric EQ with
VCM technology.
Adds new harmonics to the input
signal to make the sound stand out.
Adds a vowel sound to the input
signal.
Simulates the resonance produced
when the damper pedal of the
piano is pressed.
Changes the pitch of the input
signal.
This effect isolates only the early
reflection components of the
reverb.
